It is so pretty. Notice the orange? I am not what that fuzzy part if called. The iris was in bloom when I was making my iris stained glass several years ago. I took glass outside to match that color for the yellow iris in the stained glass. Now that always catches my eye on the yellow iris.<br /><br />Glad your bluebirds are doing good.<br /><br /><A HREF="http://leedrasphotosforfun.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Leedra’s Photos For Fun</A><A HREF="http://leedrasgreetingcards.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Leedra’s Greeting Cards</A><A HREF="http://photographybyleedra.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Photography By Leedra</A>Leedrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04914177127665868671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-53549659154755672792009-05-19T22:16:25.191-05:002009-05-19T22:16:25.191-05:00Hi Betsy, I may have the Queen Dorothy Iris, But t...Hi Betsy, I may have the Queen Dorothy Iris, But the rest are diffrent.
